[Nutritional study of elimination diets in the case of two-year-old children recovered from atopic dermatitis]

The aim of this study is to clarify the nutritional value of elimination diets (four types of Japanese style diets) which atopic dermatitis children had been on for seven days before the examination. The intake of energy was less than the recommended dietary allowances. This result suggests that the intake of energy is associated with the removing of vegetable oils. As 54.8% of the children had not had any vegetable oils, the intake of fat was half the recommended dietary allowance. Half of the children had not had eggs and milk at all, but the intake of protein of the boys was 31% more than the recommended dietary allowance and that of the girls was 42% more than the recommended dietary allowance. The intake of calcium by the boys was 365 +/- 199 mg and that by the girls was 452 +/- 67 mg. The intake of iron and vitamins was more than the recommended dietary allowance. In the case of the boys on elimination diets, the ratio of PFC was P = 17.1%, F = 11.6%, C = 70.8%, and in the case of the girls it was P = 17.1%, F = 13.9%, C = 69.0%. It has been clarified that the F ratio of the intake of the boys and the girls was smaller than the ratio of the recommended dietary allowances, and that P ratio and C ratio were larger.
